GetSearchResults - Long Time issue - sometimes (often) runs twice

[mickle026 587]

Can I ask why this often gets called twice when the user requests it once?

I have noticed this many times, and in one of my plugins I actually cancel duplicate tasks, but why after all this time (a few years) is this still often getting called twice?

At first I was wondering if it was if the user clicked identfy in the Gui having filled in the Name dialog, before the Provider Ids Text boxes load, but its not.  It still does it even if the user waits for the dialog to fully load.

• Is it something in Emby, or maybe because results wernt returned fast enough?
• Is there a timeout before it gets recalled?

I log my plugins and can see this happening, sometimes the second task runs before the first is finished, causing the log to wriite interleaved into the first ones text.

The functionallity still works just fine, but its annoying..as the results can reload or even just blank out (return nothing).

HI, it doesn't get called twice. As far as how long they take, that will largely be dictated by the response time of the metadata providers.
